Silver Fox play Club Ponderosa at Workplace Gallery this friday!

Club Ponderosa presents:

SILVER FOX

D’ASTRO

CATH & PHIL TYLER

FRIDAY 26TH AUGUST, 8PM-12AM

Making waves up and down the coast, Newcastle’s all female band Silver Fox will ‘break your heart and blow your mind’ with their mix of noisy lo-fi pop, minimal beats and wistful lyrics. Now imagine a surf band when the only surf they have ever witnessed is off a sewage-streaked radioactive beach in the northwest of England – and you have d’Astro. Sarcastic barking and discordant guitars compete with a stampede of drummage to make an entertaining post-punk racket. Firmly back on land, and needing no introduction, local Anglo-American duo Cath & Phil Tyler offer their unique blend of traditional and experimental folk music combined into a beautiful, raw, heartfelt sound that with ripple through your mind long after the night is over.

FREE Admission & Donation Bar

Club Ponderosa is located at:

Workplace Gallery

19/21 West Street

Gateshead

NE8 1AD

Entrance is behind Lloyds TSB bank on Lambton Street

BECCA'S DRUMMING HEROES

So this is more about the style than a name. I love TAIKO drumming! In fact I'm a little obsessed with it at the moment. This is an all-female Taiko troupe called, Shiraume (white plum blossom).

I lived in Japan for a while and my apartment was next to a Shinto temple. Every morning at 5am I would be woken up by the Temple Drummer. Every morning at 5am without fail. The man had rhythm (and dedication).

A PAINTING LOVED BY SUSIE

Phoebe Unwin, Face, 2008 Acrylic and gloss paint on linen (50 × 40.5 cm) 

Phoebe makes so many beautiful paintings. Colours and textures combine with emotions, observations and small moments.

We are inspired by her work.

Thank you Phoebe!

Here we are playing at The Victoria in Dalston, London Town.
Grass Widow were amazing ladies.
Great to see some friendly faces - old and new - in the audience too.

WE PLAY WITH LET'S WRESTLE

Okay, our name's not on the poster but Let's Wrestle asked for us to support them personally!  Those guys sure have got good taste!  

So get yourself a ticket and come along to The Dog and Parrot on July 29th.  We're on first... don't be late!

At The Voodoo Rooms

Here we are playing at The Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh. 

What a lovely venue, and such good sound too.

We can recommend the G&Ts, The Purple Rose of Tokyo and another cocktail that looked like a sundae.

BECCA'S DRUMMING HEROES

Bobby Gillespie was a bit of a legend in The Jesus and Mary Chain.

Shonen Knife!!

We're supporting these legendary ladies on the Newcastle date of their 30th anniversary tour in August!

"It's as if The Slits had never split up!"

(Man at the Voodoo Rooms gig in Edinburgh)

BECCA'S DRUMMING HEROES

The Human Timekeeper: Al Jackson Jr

You have heard Al Jackson Jr on most Stax tracks - listen to the drums on Otis Reading's "Cigarettes and Coffee" and "Try a Little Tenderness"...

BECCA'S DRUMMING HEROES

Ah, Mimi Parker.

It's difficult to find films that don't focus on Alan Sparhawk - this is the most of Mimi Parker I could find.  Shame that a head is blocking the floor tom, but you get the idea!

Monday morning LiLiPUT medley

BECCA'S DRUMMING HEROES

Lead Sister

This is a compilation of Karen Carpenter's drumming - AMAZING (even though the editing is rather terrible, but who cares about the bits in between the drumming!)

WE PLAY EDINBURGH

Those lovely Eagleowl folks invited us up to Edinburgh to support them on Wednesday 1st June.  We are very excited for our first gig outside of Newcastle and in such company too!
